I am an Assistant Professor in the Institute of parallel and distributed systems (IPADS), Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research interests include operating systems, architecture, system security (TEE), serverless computing and HW/SW co-design. I have built several systems including Penglai TEE (state-of-the-art RISC-V TEE), serverless systems (Catalyzer, ServerlessBench, and Molecule), and RISC-V IPC extension (XPC). I am also working on open-sourced communities, including RISC-V (SPMP TG chair), openEuler (RISC-V SIG maintainer) and OpenHarmony (RISC-V and TEE SIG maintainer).

Services: ACM SIGOPS Blog Editor, SOSP’23 AEC co-chair, MICRO’22 ERC, SOCC’22 TPC
